Question

1.) Each daughter cell produced in meiosis has?

A.) half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

B.) twice the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

C.) four times the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

D.) the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

E.) one-fourth the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

2.) The number of cells produced in meiosis is?

A.) equal to the number of cells produced in mitosis.

B.) twice the number of cells produced in mitosis.

C.) four times the number of cells produced in mitosis.

D.) one-fourth the number of cells produced in mitosis.

E.) half the number of cells produced in mitosis

3.) Which of the following is unique to meiosis?

A.) nuclear membrane breaks down

B.) DNA organizes into chromosomes

C.) crossing over

D.) chromosomes align along the central plate of the cell

E.) None of the answer choices is correct.

4.) How are diploid cells, homologous chromosomes, and alleles related?

A.) Diploid cells have homologous pairs of chromosomes, which carry the same genes as one another but not necessarily the same alleles.

B.) Diploid cells have half of a homologous pair of chromosomes. Diploid cells therefore only have one allele for each gene.

C.) Diploid cells have homologous pairs of chromosomes. Diploid cells therefore might have up to four different alleles for each gene.

D.) Diploid cells have one set of non-homologous chromosomes, containing alleles inherited from two parents.

5.) How are "gamete," "chromosomes," and "zygote" related?

A.) Gametes combine to form a zygote with one set of chromosomes.

B.) A gamete undergoes mitosis, doubling its chromosome number and becoming a zygote.

C.) Gametes unite, forming zygotes with two sets of chromosomes.

D.) A gamete undergoes meiosis, forming a zygote with one set of chromosomes.

6. ) Individuals have _____ chromosomes in haploid cells. When two haploid gametes combine, a zygote with _____ chromosomes forms.
Suppose an error in meiosis produced diploid gametes. After fertilization, each offspring would have _____ chromosomes in its diploid cells.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 . A Half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Meiosis which is also called as reductional division. It occurs in 2 phases meiosis 1 and meiosis 2. There is formation of 4 cells at the end of meiosis 2. These cells are male or female gametes. The number of chromosomes in these gametes are half the number of original parental chromosomes.
